We’re continuing to carry out urgent work in Replingham Road and gas network upgrades to nearby pipes in Wimbledon Park Road.

Our engineers have completed repairs to our gas main in Replingham Road and reinstatement will begin today. Replingham Road remains closed at this time between Wimbledon Park Road and Elsenham Street to ensure everyone’s safety around our site. A signed diversion via Merton Road and Granville Road is in place for motorists.

We’ve completed the installation of new gas mains along Wimbledon Park Road and we’ve been carrying out tests over the weekend. We’ll shortly be commencing reinstatement work to restore the road surface to its original condition. The process to replace our excavations with tarmac can take up to two weeks.

While our engineers carry out upgrades in Wimbledon Park Road, temporary three-way traffic lights remain in place at its junction with Augustus Road. We’re continuing to monitor these traffic lights 24 hours a day to avoid any further disruption to motorists.

Unfortunately, we’ve discovered a gas leak on a nearby gas main in Wimbledon Park Road, adjacent to Sainsbury’s, which is unconnected to our current work being carried out. We’re currently in consultation with the local council to determine the traffic management required for us to safely repair our network and manage traffic flow around our existing site. We’ll publish details of our plans here once confirmed.
